We should make a web interface using the Google App Engine™ to make these scripts more accessible.

I want to do this, but I think that the seeds tools (shuffle_seeds, garpr_seeds) rely on the Challonge API key belonging to an admin of the tournament. This is also how the amateur bracket gets created under the right Challonge account.

Any suggestions for how we could get around that?

mtimkovich commented 6 years ago

We could have sign ins, and users could add their API key as a setting.

Sounds like from our chat in-person that neither of us are particularly comfortable with storing API keys ourselves. Instead, storing them securely in local browser storage that the user has full control over should be fine. This also means we don't have to implement a sign-in system.
